If there are no users with CheckUser rights on your project, and you wish for information on an editor or an IP address, please make a public request on this page, or contact a steward privately via email or IRC #wikimedia-stewards.

Stewards: All requests should be archived when fulfilled.

To request CheckUser access, use your local process, then see Requests for permissions#CheckUser access. This is the place to request CheckUser information. Note that temporary CheckUser access is not permitted.

Please, check our checkusers (ru:User:Drbug, ru:User:Wulfson, ru:User:Wind, ru:User:Dmitry Gerasimov, ru:User:DaeX, ru:User:CodeMonk) for cases of abusive use of checkuser tool. We think here (see, f.e., ru:Википедия:Заявки_на_арбитраж/Неправомерная_блокировка_Edward_Chernenko - in Russian) that our checkusers use checkuser tool for logging all IP's that users use to edit Wikipedia without requests and valid motives to do it. --Jaroslavleff 05:38, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Accounts requested to check：zh:user:Mypet and zh:User:Kairei.

Reason：zh:user:Mypet involved in vandalism (whole page blanking) in article talk page zh:Talk:白目 from 26 April and received 3 times block due to this. It came to our attention that while zh:user:Mypet received his third block on today (12 May 2007, 08:01 UTC), 20 minutes later zh:User:Kairei blanked the same page just like what zh:user:Mypet did, and this user actually did not have any editing activities since 27 December 2006. So it is suspected zh:User:Kairei is the sockpuppet of zh:user:Mypet and we would like to comfirm it. Thank you for your kind assistance.--Charlotte1125 09:29, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

They share an IP address, along with several other users. --Cspurrier 18:46, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you.--Charlotte1125 06:26, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

I request my account in ru.wp (ru:User:Edward Chernenko) to be checked for possible usage of sockpuppets. Account confirmation is here. I suspect that local checkusers have published false information about me. Edward Chernenko 13:09, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

I confirm that the user Edward Chernenko was edited from a single IP in the last 60 days and that the IP did not edit under any other aliases. Cary Bass ^demandez 13:32, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. Edward Chernenko 13:55, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

I would like to add however, as addressed by the Russian users that this IP 83.166.112.29 is not the one found by Checkuser but appears to be you as well. This IP is also the IP someone used to log into IRC on Friday to point this checkuser request out to the stewards shortly after you edited here. This IP does, in fact, resolve to two other usernames as indicated by the local checkusers. Cary Bass ^demandez 13:18, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Cornish Wiktionary

There was a flood of vandalism this morning from the following users:

• kw:wikt:User:Shumpycock
• kw:wikt:User:Da pikey called shanel
• kw:wikt:User:Baldthryce
• kw:wikt:User:Klaffour033030
• kw:wikt:User:Marcus Sparaigen
• kw:wikt:User:Dringziggs (this user left an obscene message on my user talkpage there, where I'm kw:wikt:User:SunStar Net.

I would like to know if this can be stopped, as there has been a repeated pattern of vandalism repeatedly. Can you block the underlying IP over there as well for me?? --WiganRunnerEu1 11:08, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Nuked a couple of IPs, and a dozen of sockpuppets accounts created on them (some of them were still dormant). drini ^[es:] _[commons:] 14:57, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

note to checkusers: contact Pathoschild for archived data.

Willy on Wheels or its follower attacked ENWQ recently and we changed the move setting from [user] to [autoconfirmed]. It might be dormant accounts, so I request for checkuser to detect those possible vandal accounts. Would you please to perform CU on q:user:Auburn Pilot, q:user:Jesus the Tank Engine and q:User:Pene Naranjo, and let us know accounts created from the same IP addresses, if appropriate? (Hmmm, we need a local page for "long-term vandals"?) --Aphaia 17:02, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

The user operates from a pool of dynamic IP addresses assigned to Virgin Media, with each account on a different address. There is no way to block the user without the possibility of significant collateral damage, given the wide ranges involved. —{admin} Pathoschild 04:01:00, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your information. --Aphaia 06:42, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

En Wikiquote

note to checkusers: contact Pathoschild for archived data.

There has just been a recent vandal attack there (the user appears to be a punctuation mark [1]). Reading the Admin board there [2] it looks like this has happened before. I'd like to see CU run to see if there is any connection and (if appropriate) the IP blocked for a period. Thanks --Herby ^{talk thyme} 13:23, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. From me too I request for checkuser on the requested account as well a series of Wazz accounts, q:User:SA1 to q:User:SA11, and q:User:Mrs. Herntaq. As for discussion, q:WQ:AN#Question Regarding Use of Wikiquote for School Projects might be more relevant for this vandal whom we called "Wazz". For your information, the account Vagish is confirmed by en:user:Vagish as his or her own, so it was just coincidence. --Aphaia 16:53, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Vagish was not related, but the following users are: group A{%DB%9D (encoded), Gartermac, Mrs. Herntaq, SA1, SA2, SA3, SA4, SA5, WQAS1, WQAS2, WQAS3, WQAS4), group B{SA6, SA7, SA8, SA9, SA10, SA11, WQAA1, WQAA2). Versioning and whois indicates that the users most likely operated from a computer lab behind a dynamic proxy assigned to Carbon Lehigh Intermediate school Unit 21 (209.18.48.0/20). group A edited from various IP addresses assigned to the school, while group B seems to have used a web proxy installed on ptrhosting.com (72.232.50.146). Versioning indicates a probability that multiple persons were involved, probably students in a computer lab. —{admin} Pathoschild 03:39:27, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your information. --Aphaia 06:42, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
